    Hello!

    I live in Woodbridge, VA, and work in DC. I have a two year old a handsome and awesome husband. I however, need extra motivation to attain my weigh tloss goals. I'll love to hike and dance, excersies are no issues for me. I enjoy Zumba and also often go to KaZaXe classes in Alexandria, VA. Its the eating healthier part that's a great problem for me....

    About a year ago i had lost about 20 lb. (halfway my goal) but started studying for a professional certification.
    It was very stressful, long hours @ coffe shop/library studying after a 9hr day @ job plus 2 hrs commute back home. LOL I finished the 4th part of the exam (just need to take the ethics portion of it)

    It was (and its still) a struggle to balance work, baby, hubby and house duties. Needless to say, I've gained just about all the weight I had lost almost a year ago. I'm hoping to get motivation, inspiration and tips and participate in weight loss challenges.
    I also would like to participate in group hikes, health parties, watever.... my husband and I love meeting new peoples and other couples.


    Ultimate goal is to loose 40 lb by next summer and meet nice and fun people in the process!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm in Woodbridge too. Commuting to & from Tyson's. I've lost 55 lbs total, 40lbs since joining MFP. I still have a ways to go. I am currently training for my first half marathon in October. Would love to meet up fellow DC area MFP members and participate in some fun outdoor activities!

    Hi Everyone! I just joined MFP today. Last night my other calorie counting app went corrupt and I am so glad to have found this community. I am hoping to get in shape for my beach trip to Rehobeth at the end of August. My ultimate goal is to lose 2 pounds a week - but I realize it may be a hefty goal. I am awaiting the Brazil Butt Lift CDs to arrive - has anyone tried it?

    Hey there Shoes :) welcome to the group. My neighbor has done this one and she said that it is awesome. Personally, I have been taking a belly dance class and it is kicking my tail all over the place. :) Let me know how it goes! Oh and I'm sending a friend request too!

    Hi everybody! I'm Judy and I'm in DC. I've been off and on MFP for about a year now. I don't have much weight to lose but I started since my clothes weren't fitting and I'd prefer to not go clothes shopping because I'm too lazy. I have a warped sense of lazy :)

    Anyways, I'm getting back on the wagon since I'm training for the MCM and the Disney Goofy run this year and I was a happier runnier at 150 lbs. I'm hoping to drop as much as I can that's reasonable. I don't know why I had never thought to look for people local to the area before but here you all are!

    Hi Judy and welcome to the group! I thinks it's kind of funny that you chose the word lazy. You would rather work hard and lose weight than simply buy new clothes, LOL! Hope you enjoy the group.
